After searching all over the WWW, I couldn't solve my problem.

I want to launch Xampp via desktop control panel and also I made the xampp-control-panel.desktop in desktop and ~/.local/share/applications/ paths with the text below but no answer:

[Desktop Entry]  

Encoding=UTF-8  

Name=Xampp Control Panel  

Comment=Start or Stop XAMPP  

Exec=gksudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py  

Icon=/opt/lampp/htdocs/favicon.ico  

Categories=Application;Development;Web  

Version=1.0  

Type=Application  

Terminal=0

I typed the command below:

gksudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py

the answer was:

Error importing pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade

and then I tried:

gksudo apt-get install python-glade2

and eventually when I click on xampp icon my administration password will be asked and when I type it nothing happens.

What can I do to get the control panel working?

First of all the xampp folder is /opt/lampp so if you want to create some php files you need to put them in /opt/lampp/htdocs. Don't use var/www or var/www/html

Now to start the graphical interface

cd /opt/lampp

sudo ./manager-linux.run (or manager-linux-x64.run)

If you don't care about the graphical interface and you just want to run xampp then you do

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

To create an alias, open a terminal and type:

alias xampp='sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run'

and now every time you type xampp in the terminal, the graphical interface will start!
